For me collecting bookmarks is part of a larger activity that involves any information I want to gather for use later on. Bookmarks is usually about assembling a reading list or collecting resources on a topic. I used to think the larger activity was note-taking, but I'm realizing that's not really it either. The activity is something very general like "collecting information". Collecting, notes, bookmarks, quotes, transactions, events, equations, etc. I built a service to solve this problem [0], but I'm not sure how to communicate what it is. Does it collect and organize bookmarks, yes. But I also use it to track of my spending, do my budget, keep a work log, make financial projections, manage tasks, send myself reminders and digests of all the above content.

This is something approaching a general personal assistant. A few notes: My immediate worry is that this is not general enough. A tool like this is one I really want to integrate into my other tools - Obsidian, PushOver, etc. Pricing was an immediate turnoff for me. The demo auto-converts and I don't trust you enough to go for that. It seems like my data is very locked in. Again, not enough trust here.

I clicked the link because I want something like what you mentioned. But your landing page showed a programming language and you lost me. And I'm a developer. You're not selling a syntax. You're selling a solution. The homepage should be selling me on what you're solving, not the syntax to do it.

Your comment reminds me of the "Collections" feature in Microsoft Edge, where you can collect a group of related URLs and notes together. I haven't used Edge in a while, but I recall I used it a few times and it was a better experience than the regular "bookmark something and forget about it until it bit rots" which I've never been fond of. Now I wonder, can I have "Collections" on Firefox?
